Cutting a CLI Release

The Exercism CLI uses GoReleaser to automate the release process.

Requirements

  1. Install GoReleaser
  2. Setup GitHub token
  3. Have a gpg key installed on your machine - it is used for signing the artifacts

Bump the version

  1. Create a branch for the new version
  2. Bump the Version constant in cmd/version.go
  3. Update the CHANGELOG.md file to include a section for the new version and its changes. Hint: you can view changes using the compare view: https://github.com/exercism/cli/compare/$PREVIOUS_RELEASE...main.
  4. Commit the updated files
  5. Create a PR

Note: It's useful to add the version to the commit message when you bump it: e.g. Bump version to v2.3.4.

Cut a release

Once the version bump PR has been merged, run the following command to cut a release:

GPG_FINGERPRINT="<THE_GPG_FINGERPRINT>" ./bin/release.sh

Cut Release on GitHub

Once the ./bin/release.sh command finishes, the release workflow will automatically run. This workflow will create a draft release at https://github.com/exercism/cli/releases/tag/vX.Y.Z. Once created, go that page to update the release description to:

To install, follow the interactive installation instructions at https://exercism.io/cli-walkthrough
---

[modify the generated release-notes to describe changes in this release]

Lastly, test and then publish the draft.

Homebrew

Homebrew will automatically bump the version, no manual action is required.

Update the docs site

If there are any significant changes, we should describe them on exercism.io/cli.

The codebase lives at exercism/website-copy in pages/cli.md.
